Episode 01; Angel Attack: The story opens with Katsuragi Misato taking Ikari Shinji to Tokyo-3, base of Project EVA on behalf of Ikari Genou (Shinji's father) while the UN is attempting to neutralize an attacking Angel. The catch is Shinji did not know that his father had chosen him to become the pilot of EVA, the secret weapon against the Angels. After some drama, Shinji reluctantly accepts the mission to confront the attacking Angel. The EVA is launched on its first mission, thus the story begins. Episode 02; The Beast: Since this is Shinji's first ride on the EVA, he wasn't able to control its actions. The Angel takes advantage of this and critically damaged the EVA unit. Shinji wakes up in bed. The enemy had been defeated, but we don't know how until the in the second half of the episode. The EVA unit was somehow able to pilot itself after Shinji had lost synchronization with it. The EVA proceeded to defeat the attacking Angel. However, the Angel self destructed, and nearly destroyed the EVA unit. Since Shinji had no place to stay in Tokyo-3, Misato offered to let him stay in her apartment. |
